Raw lemon bars recipe

This raw lemon bar recipe is pretty easy to make, you just need to food process almost everything, mix recipe together with your hands, and then press it down into a pan with your hands. The toughest part of making raw lemon bars is getting the dates to process well, especially if your dates aren't fresh.

A note re: lemon zest: Lemon zest is simply lemon peel. If you don't have a fancy zester, just do what I do: use a clean carrot peeler and "peel" the lemon with your carrot peeler and throw the big chunky peels into the food processor for processing. Done!

3. Process again until well mixed. Depending on how hard your dates are this could be a wild ride!

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

Before I went raw I used to love lemon bars made with lemon and coconut. Lemon bars are so sweet and flavorful and I used to eat them quite frequently as a sweet snack.

So when I went raw I knew I needed a substitute. Surprisingly, these raw lemon bars are easy to whip up and the taste is pretty similar to the lemon bar recipes that I remember from days of yore!

Tip: Be careful if doubling this raw lemon bar recipe. You might want to make two batches right after one another instead of making one huge batch because it can be tough to get everything to move well in the food processor.

Tip: If your dates are rock-hard try softening them by soaking them in warm water for half-an-hour, then squeezing almost all water out of them before using in this raw lemon bar recipe.

I just found your site yesterday and became an instant fan and subscriber. I have made these and the brownies with the icing already...WOW!!!! You are my new best friend..Thank you so much for an awesome site and recipes...Bless!

Hi Kathy! No, I wouldn't recommend almond or coconut flour unless you made it yourself and didn't remove any of the oils. (in my experience, store bought coconut flour has been greatly reduced in fat). T. This recipe needs the oils. :)

So yummy! One question; should I cover them with a plastic wrap or refrigerate uncovered? These are the things that always confuse me - ha! They're in the refrigerator now, uncovered. Love your recipes. Just love them! Thank you :)

So there I was thinking that the chocolate truffles were the best thing ever. They have been knocked into second place by these babies! <3
I am very pleased I soaked my dates and I put the juice of the whole lemon in too- and it turned out just the right consistency- sticky and smooth(ish).
Thanks again for helping satisfy my sweet tooth

i just made this. Absolutely delicious!!
I did not add the shredded coconut as I did not have enough. So I rolled the mixture into small/medium balls and tossed into the coconut. Still oh so delicious. I am happy to be a part of this raw food family.
